LG Optimus One P500 is not Getting Gingerbread!

BAD NEWS! for LG Optimus One P500 is obviously going to be stuck to Froyo for the rest of its life. The device that is certainly one of the best bargains you can get for the holiday season, but despite being announced just a few weeks before Gingerbread was released, it will not get a chance to taste it.

Its not the first time a manufacturer has let down its users with OS updates. Besides it is probably more tolerable here, considering that the Optimus One is meant to rival high-end feature phones, rather than smartphone top-dogs. However whats most embarrassing is the way LG brought the news to its customers.

A post on the LG Facebook page states that the Optimus One P500 will not be updated because there is a 1GHz minimum requirement for Gingerbread. Makes total sense, They cannot update it without fixing the hardware, which is impossible. Except that its not true and there is no such Gingerbread requirement and that was confirmed by the Android guru Dan Morill.
